So your thinking of changing your gear box oil? Well... So was I. I wanted to know if there are any NOTICABLE benefits, only takes about 15 mins and will cost £25 for 2L(you need 1.5L for the 2.0 diesel but can only buy in 1L). Will do a how to later this evening but this thread is to chat about it. What's your opinions?

I'm looking to change the oil in my M32 gearbox and was wondering if there was any changes over the mk's of Astra to the layout of filler, drain and level check plugs?
I found this how to, seems pretty good. Is it similar or still the same? I can't see why they would change the layout. I think the link is for the Astra H VXR M32.

Is there some kind of mod or upgrage to the mist washer jets on the astra j. The mist / standard ones dont seem that great and half of it goes over the car. I have adjusted many times but never seem to get it just right for driving or when at a stand still. There must be a better jet to buy or upgrade to?

I'm trying to find info on how often this is, but i keep finding conflicting info. Belt changes seem to say anywhere from 60k to 100k and chain changes say 60k/150k and the life of the car. Any idea on the real answer?
